Getting high is a state of mind and this altered sense of reality can be achieved without chemicals. Life's full of natural highs free for the taking. Running injects a "runner's high" a euphoric, feel good burst of energy. And a belly laugh's like shooting up, it instantly lifts your spirit and leaves you feeling giddy. Meditation brings you down safely helping you find your balance, while taking you on an inner voyage of self-discovery. Music touches your soul and your heart, unlike anything else can. And yet, fueled by adrenaline, dance can take you to another level. Sniffing nature's intoxicants such as lilac or lavender, gives your mind a sense of well-being. So, if you want to feel high, give life a try. (Free Verse) 06/01/2020
